@'matt': > At the very least, disable the use of HTML codes in the shoutbox. Something like BB codes should have been used instead. It was all cool and fun at the beginning, but being able to post Eclipse inside Eclipse is too far. Not to mention, anyone could post some malicious java-script code into the shoutbox which would affect every visiting user. Yeah that'll definitely be fixed. What is your dislike towards the forum currently that's a cause to revert back to the slow loading?

Hello eclipse community, This topic is strictly for reporting issues you encounter and find around the site. Feel free to include your opinion about the site as well in the report but know our primary focus is what you are reporting and trying to resolve it as fast as possible. We can't spot everything ourselves so we'll need your eyes as well. Anything ranging from not being able to post somewhere to account issues. **What We Already Know** We are aware the chatbox needs a bit more work and that will be done in time, and by that I mean soon. Feel free to leave your suggestions in this thread as well regarding what you'd like to see on the chatbox but try to focus on making site reports only. Some users can't log into the forums, we are deeply sorry but we can't fix this issue. You will need to go through the password reset method in order to sort out the issue. This is for users who used their social networks to login as well as any others whose account decide to not go through the conversion process for what ever reason. If your account is very old and you do not recall the email you used to register, shame on you. You should always update your account with recent information, but you can make a new account and get in touch with us to solve your password issue should you not remember your email. Well folks, stay tuned for more announcements and try to be understanding. Enjoy **- Eclipse Staff**

> Might be the first game I play from you lot then pending it comes out unlike the only project I cared for that you made a certain side scrolling mmorpg. Aha, yeah. Psithyroi was our first dive into the world of game development. We've been through a long road at this point so you can expect this project to be completed. :)

Reserved for change log…

 [](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumpbuttonstudio.puckslide.android) Puck Slide is an infinite arcade-style game where you have to power a puck past fields of mud and snow. If we can get enough people playing this game, we will be able to do a weekly show off of the top player every friday and consider updating it with skins for the puck as well as a co-op mode to play with or against friends. Spread the word :) Android only.. for now!   If you use the right amount of force, you will propel your puck across the mud and onto the field of snow. You'll get points according to how close you are to the flag (as well as occasional positive reinforcement, for motivation). Puck Slide is integrated with Google Play Game Services, which means achievements, leaderboards, and competition. 

> Well hello! I'm new here I guess you could say. Not new to the 2d mmorpg community though. I put a decent amount of time into Legends of Avalon, and a very large amount of time on Legacy of the Zodiac, lol… My name on LoZ was Seda, I dunno if any of you know me. Anyway, I really hope I can find a decent game to get into. I really miss being hopelessly addicted to a nice simple little 2d mmorpg. Welcome to the community.

> Seems interesting what platforms will it come out on? We are aiming at steam for now. There's a chance it will find its way over to PS4 and xbox one/ouya with a few exclusive physical copies sold.

> That art is awesome Nick The real awesome stuff are the ones we aren't sharing haha :P pretty solid team behind the project though so expect more awesome. To everyone else, our Twitter and Facebook will show case more art and information related to the project. Be sure to subscribe on the website for news letters as we'll begin those mid summer right after a planned teaser release that I can't mention yet.

> Looks like a cool project. I shot you a email. I've sent you a response and an invitation to chat. Talk with you soon.

Hey everyone! We would like to announce an indie game in development inspired by a personal project by one of our staff, Jessica Fong, from a couple years ago. It started with a few sketches, which then lead to a collection of illustrations, and now a game which is being brought to life with Jumpbutton Studio. Announcing Keeper and the Soldier! (KATS for short)  Some of you may have seen some of my early illustrations when this was still a personal project if you followed my social networks. I won’t go into much detail, but the characters and work were explorations in representing, a sort of visual dialogue with myself, personal hardships that I was scared or in denial of. I kept more of the private info and creative process regarding the artwork to myself and a small group of others; I thought it was something I would just explore in my own time. But since having been reached out to and supported by peers (personally and professionally), I’m looking forward to turning this personal project into something new with others and curious to see what players will take away from it~ We have a lot planned and I’m excited to see where it goes!  **The Game** Keeper and the Soldier is a mix of 3D/2D, stealth platformer from Jumpbutton Studio about a lonely young girl, destined to live a soldier’s life, who finds something beautiful in a world ravaged by never-ending war and a connection deeper than she ever thought possible. A forgotten guardian of the past, desperate and dying, puts its fate into the hands of the wandering child. Their bond sends them on a journey to preserve history. You’ll explore a rich and beautiful immersive world with a forgotten past and collect clues to its origins. Stealth through guarded areas using abilities and the environment to your advantage. Go from pushing blocks and throwing stones to holographic powers of manipulation and deception as you explore and outwit your foes. Experience a touching tale of companionship told through two characters with no one left to turn to but each other. If you are interested in being a part of this project (we also love hearing feedback and questions!), please feel free to send us a message here: [email protected] **Links** Stay up to date, connect with us, and follow our progress here: **Facebook:** [https://www.facebook.com/KATSproject](https://www.facebook.com/KATSproject) **Twitter:** [https://twitter.com/jbsKATS](https://twitter.com/jbsKATS) **KATS Website**: [http://www.keeperandthesoldier.com/](http://www.keeperandthesoldier.com/)

> I like the second last one. It's really nice I don't really like the green earth logo or earth logo in general because one a earth doesn't really relate to Eclipse and two because I just like the crescent moon design better. It is more visually appealing to me. Sorry for the misunderstanding! Those are actually gears haha, it may seem like half of an earth though.

Ello Eclipse, Regarding the forum issues, please continue to be patient with us. I promise we are working behind the scenes for where things will go and there will be changes seen big and small as we get closer to summer. I noticed a few complaints in the chat, the staff team will go through and remove/hide any duplicated forum topics that is not actively being posted in. Though just know we aren't sitting around doing nothing. That will show soon enough, but until then, remain patient. Also, could we get a few feedbacks from you guys on these designs. There is no set plans to change anything just us looking at ways to make Eclipse what it can and should be for you all. If you're completely against it, feel free to state that and the reason behind it. Please keep from trolling. We've been going through logo/icon iterations and finally decided to try something simple at the end. I'll show the iterations from start to finish and would like all your feedbacks. 

> Is this still going ahead? Yes. We are currently splitting focus between the future java engine and the forums. We don't want to do a conversion just yet as we had planned previously without having more aspect of the new forum ready. In short, the conversion will happen but not as early as we previously planned. News on the engine will be released alongside forum conversion so you get two new things to enjoy.

Wait, what topic can't you post in? It seems to be related to the page adding your post onto it without having to refresh. When the green loading thing is done and you still don't see your response added to the topic, refresh the page and it should be there. Although that isn't how it should be, will add this to the list of things to sort out. Once again, apologies for these weird bugs. Edit; Also note that we have a few background tasks running to clean up the forums. This **may** cause loading times to be slow.

We are looking into the problem, sorry about that guys.

Hello Eclipse, I haven't introduced myself yet to the community as an acting owner with Links and thus this introduction topic is being written to fix that. Anyhow, originally it seemed one individual took this change to be an attempt on our part as a gaming team to be "shameless advertising". In case he isn't the only one who thought that, I would like to put an end to that train of thought and state this is our way of looking back at where our family originally began and seeing how we can give back. Feel free to have your own opinions about it but how this community improves will show our intent is just that. A bit about me. I love anything related to management. I was and at the moment still am a community manager for Excalisoft for their Sagramore project which is on a halt. I was a community manager on various forums which are now dead. I was a lead moderator for Forsaken Studios on their Embers Of Caerus forums, but that community is now dead for what ever reasons. I was invited to be a moderator for Air Rivals by GameForge but did not see that through due to needing to focus on Jumpbutton Studio as my priority. Those are the few of the many communities I have either managed, administrated or moderated for. Hopefully that shows a slight bit about my background and interest in community management or management in general. Eclipse will now be on my list of priorities and I look forward to improving it for the better along with the **community's** input on where its future goes. This was a sudden change and we apologize for not bringing it to your attention before going through with it. Although it would be wise to note that not every decision will be made with community input, but the majority and major changes to come will either be a surprise as an experiment to see how you respond to it, or you will be given a poll to decide on. I'll end things on that note. I look forward to interesting and hopefully a fun and engaging relationship between us and you guys.

> Can't login with Facebook or Twitter. Will have this looked into and sorted as soon as possible. Apologies! > Kind of shameless advertising towards jumpbutton…. If we wanted to advertise we would use the non-eclipse project board as we have previously. What will be done with and for this community has no relationship towards our game development venture. Our team grew from this very community and there is potential for other teams to come together from within this community. Where things go with eclipse will rely on both Link and the staff he has on his board along with the one we have placed on ours to be focused on eclipse. If you consider that advertising, then sorry it comes off as such.

Note we are aware of a few broken things and are currently working behind the scenes to ensure all navigation, image links, etc are properly working. Aside from that, we may not spot everything and hope you will work with us to have Eclipse functioning as it did before.

[Happy New Year](http://t.co/X0FS7ZgJsl)! A bit late :p

Congrats mate

We need your [help](http://goo.gl/Ag4fT3)! Please help us reach our goal before time runs out :)

> Game being dead doesn't mean it has to get closed. > Take for example Ecol Tactics Online, it's last update was in May 2013, GMs were long ago fired or sent to take care of other games. > Another example would be Sagramore, it's empty but still Online, after so many years with no updates or words from it's developer. As community manager for Sagramore, I can tell you it is simply on a halt. Anyway, sorry about being off-topic Stava mate :P I recommend giving the server a try to anyone.
